Re: Blame horn button !!!!!!!!!
Bob,
The large plastic piece with the spring loaded contact goes under the steering wheel and the contact tower sticks up through a hole in the steering wheel hub. The disk is the first piece to go inside the steering wheel, then the metal cup, then the plastic retainer with the three screws. If you hold the metal cup in your hand and put the retainer down inside it you will see that the bosses on the plastic retainer fit snug inside the holes in the cup. Turn that assembly upside down and put the metal disk on it and you will see that the holes in the disk just fit over the bosses on the retainer also. That is the way it has to go together. It can be tough getting it all lined up down inside the steering wheel and keeping the metal disk in place. If the disk gets out of place and gets pinched between the steering wheel hub and the retainer, either the horn won't honk or it will honk all the time. This is one of those procedures that is hard to put into words but fairly easy to do so I hope you can follow my rambling.... LockDoc

Re: Blame horn button !!!!!!!!!
THE thin metal piece that goes inside is cupped, does the cup side go towards driver or does it go towards the inside of the steering wheel. boy this is a bugger to get back together. bet i,ve tried 5-6 times to get it to work. my old big fingers lol

Re: Blame horn button !!!!!!!!!
I had similar difficulty in installing the horn ring. There are several threads on here as to how to install it correctly - some of them even have pictures. Try searching on horn problems/installation, etc., or search on my user name, landy. You'll get it done.
